STANDARD & EXPRESS. CAPTKRSVILLE, GA, NOV. 30. 1871 jqir Reading- matter on every page. Democratic Convention Culled. Georoia, Special Dispatch t<» The Constiti tion.] Forsyth, November 22, 1871. A convention of the Democratic party will assemble in Atlanta on Wednesday, the 6th day of Decern* ber next, at 10 o’clock A. M, to nom inate a candidate for Governor. By direction of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee. Clifford Anderson, Chairman. Bishop Beckwith, of the Episcopal Church, will preach in the Court- House in Cartersville, to-night (Wed nesday,) at the usual hour. The public are invited to attend. Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad —This road, so long a bone of contention between Stanton and his creditors, has been reopened. Col. W. W. WLiite, of Marietta, has been made Us Superintendent. With his great ability as a railroad man, coupled with bis energy, we may soon expect him to have the through mail to New Orleans, as well as travel. We learn from Col. White that he will make the time from Chattanooga to New Orleans twelve hours quicker than any com peting line from Chattanooga.—At lanta Sun. General W. T. Wolford, of this place, who was appointed receiver for Georgia, in connection with Mr. Gindrat, receiver for Alabama, in forms us that matters connected with this road, have been arranged satis factory to all parties, and that it is now in full operation, and doing well. Much feeling has been stirred up, and bitter feelings too, and serious consequences have resulted there from, but through the cautious man agement of theso gentlemen, they have to a great extent, been allayed. We are rejoiced to learn that the re ceivers have been so fortunate in se curing a superintendent of such mer its and business tact as Col. W. W. White. We are also pleased to learn that our respected fellow citizen, Col. 11. F. Price, has been appointed Treas urer. The Demand for Iron. —The amount of railroad building going on in America is altogether unpre cedented, and the consequent de mand for iron is very great. E ven if no new- lines were building, the mere renewal of roadway an 1 roil ing stock for 53,000 miles of rail, road would require an enormous amount of iron. Theu wa have a tremendous increase of demand for iron for machinely in manufactures and for implements in agriculture and the ordinary arts. If we take agriculture alone, and look at the immense annual increase of tillage, and calculate the regular demand for agricultural implements, we shall see that this item is of great interest to the iron trade. But in addition to this we have commenced the con struction of iron steamships, tugs, barges and sailing vessels and iron petroleum cans and tanks ; and the number of inn coal cars demanded increases rapidly ; we are also using iron in building to an unusual extent. In fact, iron was never before in any thißg like the demand in America that it is now. A Just Appreciation of the Value of the Country Press. —The following testimonial from J. B. Dinsmore, Esq., will be read with interest, as based upon a varied experience iu advertising: “ My opinion of the relative value of city and country newspapers as advertising mediums, is decidedly in favor of the country papers; price and circulation being equal. 1 should prefer to have my ad vertisement inserted in a country paper having 500 circulation rather than have it in 500 copies of a city daily paper. The country readers have fewer papers and more leisure, and consequently read their papers more thoroughly and take better care of them, while a daily paper after being glanced at is thought no more of than last year’s almanac. My opinion is based on twelve years’ study and experience in the busi ness.” HON. MARK A. COOPER. This gentleman requests our pub lication of the following card, and says that should the Legislature fail to examine into the matter, he will furnish us the full statement of the facts. We withhold further com ment until then : Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24, 1871. Editors Constitution: On my ar rival here last evening, I was shown your editorial of the 22d instant, headed, “The Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad,” purporting to state the “facts” in regard to matters therein set forth. I call attention to it now dimply to say that, what you say therein shows that you do not properly and fully understand the facts. U Bay R* B a 44 matter for the Legislature.” I prefer to with .°ld further comment until the ac tion o the Legislature shall be made known; I will then have an t hpv >r umty t 0 the Tacts as am y pnn CUred \ 8 ° far as 1 know or kISTr 1 - 1 have notkin g to or fear nn ° exteDUate > hope for, any On Tf OW “ OrOna0c »““ t ' of road thl ri le completion of the the noon P f Sm t ntofito llebts and of tlle country are the oifiy objects aimed at by me. LatepS' AEK Cooper, President C. and Y. W. R. R. CAKTEKSVILI.E AND VAN WKttT RAILROAD. This community has for a long time been aware of the fact that the management of the bonds authorized by the Legislature in aid of the con struction of the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad was involved in much mystery. The whole number of the bonds amounting to the sum of 275,- 000 dollars, as was Rtrongly believed, it now appears were issued before five miles of the road was completed, contrary to the express authority of the act of the Legislature authoriz ing the State endorsement. What has become of them does not appear. I rom the subjoined article of the Constitution another fact appears that in addition to these bonds, Gov ernor Bullock has had issued $300,- 000 more to be substituted in the place of the $275,000, and that both sets are out. What authority he had for so doing, it is impossible to con ceive, or what necessity there was no man can conjecture. About the time of the issuing of these last bonds, Kimball was elected President of the Rosd, and its name changed to that of the Cherokee Railroad. What this had to do with the issuing of the additional $300,000 no one can tell, but so it was, and now both sets are out, and the State and people are ex pected to meet and pay them as they may be presented by the holders. In our judgment no clearer case of wrong can be possibly imagined, one which demands and which we trust will receive the strictest exam ination upon the part of the Legisla ture. The road is still unfinished, and there are $600,000 in bonds, every one of which are illegal, and for which the State is to be held respon sible. The road, we repeat is not fin ished to this day, and that portion of it lying between Taylorsville and Van Wert, a distance of eight miles, instead of being made according to the charter, a broad guage, is made a narrow guage road. The broad guage continues as far as Taylors ville, and then without authority, ex cept upon their own motion, the road is made by its authorities, a different one from that contemplated by the charter and the act authorizing the issue of the bonds. In any possible aspect in which this whole case can be viewed, the law has been violated by the authorities of the road and the Governor of the State, and every bond which has been issued is illegal and if resisted will be so declared. The people of the Stats are not in justice bound for their payment, and the courts of law will so hold if ever the}' shall be called to determine their validity. Nor can the holders of these bonds complain, for although they were is sued aud in the market, yet it was the duty of every purchaser to see that the conditions upon which the State might be held liable for their payment, had been fully complied with before a purchase of them was made. There is the char ter, there is the act author izing the terms of the issue of the bonds by the Governor, there is the road and the work done or to be done in short there were all the facts laid before the world from which any one with common judg ment might be able to see whether the terms had been fully complied with, and upon which the validity of the bonds, and their final payment, would depend; and if with the knowledge that all the conditions imposed by the legislature had been violated, a purchase of them has been made, their is no ground upon which the people of the State could for a moment be expected to pay them. “Let the purchaser take care.” is a wise and sound maxim, and, if under the circumstances, any one has rashly bought, he has purchased at his peril, aud in no wise can be held an innocent purchaser. We do not believe that these bonds or any of them can be collected, and we sincerely hope that the legislature will ventilate the whole matter, and take such steps as will protect the people against the harpies who are feeding upon the public. Whatev er is equitable under the circum stances should be done, but these bonds are not binding upon the State, in fact, they are no bonds, but are pieces of paper, as worth less as the paper upon which they are written, signed by Bullock. Below we publish the statement made by the Constitution, and also in another place the letter of Maj. Cooper to which we invite the at tention of the reader. We have learned some facts in regard to the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad that excite no pleas ant sensation in the reader’s mind. On the 12th day of April, 1870, Mr. Cooper, the President of the road, delivered to Colonel D. G. Cotting, the Secretary of State, SIOO,OOO of the road bonds for State indosement, taking Cotting’s receipt for them to be substituted by Gov ernor Bullock. The road still holds Col. Cotting’s receipt. On the same day the rest of the bonds to the amount of $200,000 were de posited by Colonel Cooper with Pe rino Brown, agent of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company in Atlanta. On the 22d day of June, 1870, Mr. Brown delivered to Mr. Kim ball SIOO,OOO of the bonds in his possession on Colonel Cooper’s or der. And on the 9th day of Au gust, 1870, Mr. Brown delivered $15,000 more of the bonds to Mr. Kimball on Colonel Cooper’s or der. Thus we see that $275,000 of these bonds were issued before five miles of the road was fully finished. Only 3 84-100 miles from Carters- viille to the Etowah was completed. The law allows the State indorse ment to the bonds of $12,500 per mile when each five miles arc done, or in batches of $62,500 for every fiv‘> miles. In addition to the $275,000 of these bonds, Governor Bullock has had issued $300,000 more, ostensi bly to be exchanged for the first $275,000, but both sets are out. On the 11th of April, 1870, Laman, Conant & Cos., the contractors, wrote to Colonel Cooper requesting him to ask Governor Bullock to turn over to Clews & Cos., of New York, the bonds for advances when the bonds shall have been indorsed by him. On the 12th Col. Cooper made the request of Governor Bullock. . Governor Bullock indorsed these bonds knowing the road was unbuilt. If we had nothing else against him, this violation of his duty alone would justify his impeachment. It is with pain we give these facts, because they implicate parties respee ted hitherto. But we have no choice. The truth must be told, let it hurt whom it may. This road is 22 miles long; $275,600 is the whole indorsement it is entitled to when done. Yet all was given before five miles was done, and four;een miles only is complete now. Thus has Bullock committed the State to the payment of a large amount of principal and interest ille gally. Clews & Cos. hold the $275,000. Who have the last $300,000 is not known. Here is matter for the Legislature. ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATIC PRI MARY MEETING OF RARTOVV COUN TY, GEORGIA. A number of the white Democrat ic citizens of Bartow county, assem bled at the Court House, Carters ville, Tuesday, Nov. 7th., to hold an old fashioned Democratic primary meeting of the unsophisticated sov ereigns. The meeting was organized by calling Col. R. 11. Cannon to the chair, and Col. R. C. Saxon to act as secretary. On motion by Col. 11. A. Crawford, the Chair appointed the following gentlemen a committee to designate suitable delegates to represent the Democracy of Bartow county, in a Convention, soon to be ordered, by the Legislature, or the Democratic Executive Committee, to nominate a candidate for Governor, to fill the unexpired term of R. B. Bullock re signed : Col. Crawford, Dr. Simms, A. P. Wofford, Thos. Tumlin and Col. Hooper. The committee retired, and after a, short absence, returned and repor ted, through their Secretary, Col. Hooper, the following Preamble and Resolutions: Whereas, in view of the fact, that Rufus B. Bullock, late Governor of Georgia, has resigned, and the Leg islature is likely to pass a law order ing an election for Governor at an early day, therefore jßesolved, That Col 11.. A. Craw ford, Col. R. H. Cannon, Judge Tumlin, J. M. Teach, Dr. J. C. Simms, A. Johnson, Wm. Milner, T. W. Hooper, John Shuler, Col. 11. F. Price, J. C. Roper, T. J. Lyons, W. F. Weems, T. W Milner and A. P. Wotford, citiizens, in connection with our worthy Representatives, John W. Wofford and John W. Gray, are here by authorized to represent the De mocracy of this county in the Con vention that may be called to put in nomination a Democratic candidate for Governor. Resolved , That we are first for General W. T. Wofford of our own county, knowing that he is strictly an honest man ; that he belongs to no clique ; cannot be bought by any ; is a true Democrat; in whom there is no guile, and that under all cir cumstances he will do right, and hon estly investigate the conduct of all officers of the State Goverement, and let the odium of misconduct fall on the evil-doer as it should. The preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Cartersville Standard & Express and the Atlanta Constitution. On motion the meeting adjourned. R. H. Cannon, President. R. C. Saxon, Secretary. The Dalton Citizen makes an earnest appeal to the Legislature in behalf of the farming interests of the country. This is well. We need more business and less politics. Georgians should talk farming more, and politics less. INDIANA. Indianapolis, November 17. The three negroes who murdered the Park family near Henryville, Indiana, were taken from the jail at Charelston at 2 o’clock this morn ing by a mob of one hundred and fif ty men in disguise and hanged from a tree half a mile from the town. The Calhoun Times “scents the breeze from afar.” It hoists the name of General W. T. Wofford for Governor. Wofford is a good man. He would make an able and honest Chief Magistrate. He does not be long to the faction of Impractica bles.—New Era. According to the count of the At lanta Sun, there are twenty-three ne°ro members in our General As sembly—six in the Senate and sev enteen in the House. “ Benjamin’s mess,” Bullock’s un expired term*- Ku-Klux potatoes, “ nigger kill ers.” Hon. Sanford E. Church says a Grant can be made to come out of the next canvass the worst beaten man that ever ran for President.” We like the doctrine of that Church. WHAT CHICAGO DID FOR ATLANTA During the winter of 1865, and the whole of the year 1366, there was a rush of indigent persons from the country to Atlanta. They were at tracted to this point by. the rations which were issued by the Govern ment. The issue of these rations was suddenly stopped. These un fortunate people were left without food. In addition, the small pox broke out among them and became epedemic. Sherman had left the city in ruins. Iu this straight the City of At lanta issued a Circular asking aid from more favored communities. This Circular was distributed throughout both the North and South. From the South, according to its means, the response was prompt and liberal.- From the North of Mason and Dixon’s line there was one, and but one, favorable response. That re sponse was made by a gentleman in Illino s, whose name we have been unable to learn, who filled a railroad car with provisions, took charge of it, and delivered it in Atlanta. All honor to him. Among other cities, the circular referred to was sent to Chicago, then in the very flush of prosperity. The City Council of Chicago replied to to it by addressing a communication to the City Council of Atlanta, stat ing, in the most curt terms possible, that they bad no legal right to ap propriate money for such purposes. Not one word of sympathy, not the inspiration of a single hope, but a bald, naked, rude denial, based upon an alleged legal inability. Silence would have been less cruel and in sulting. Suppose other corporations in America and Europe bad poured iu cold statements of legal instead of money and provisions for the sufferers by the recent conflagra tion of Chicago ? That condition would be readily understood by one who had seen Atlanta as it was. But the conduct of the Council of Chicago was quite consistent with the conduct of the people of Chicago after the burning of Columbia, South Carolina. We are informed that, upon the reception of the news of the bnrning of Columbia by Sherman, before the fires had died out, before the wail of the houseless women and children had ceased to pierce the air, a grand torch-light procession was held in Chicago in honor of this most Christian deed! We are induced to write this article by the whining of Mr. Henry Ward Beecher over the lamentable want of charity of the South as evinced by its general failure to forward con tributions to Chicago. What right has Mr. Beecher to throw stones? What did Plymouth Church give to -Atlanta and Columbia? What did Mr. Beecher, from his affluent salary, give? It is true, we had been enemies, but we were prostrate enemies. The charity of which he speaks, and for the want of which he abuses the South would have then been conspicuously illustrated by help to a suffering and helpless foe. The South has in small degree given aid to Chicago. Why? In most parts of the South we were sturgghng for bread, and therefore have nothing to give. We are also human—we confess the weaknesses of humanity. It is too much to ex pect of this frail humanity that it should take the bread from its own mouth to send to Chicago, with the icy reply to its Council yet chilling us, and with the shouts of the /Danc ed, Enfer” of its people after the burning of Colunbia yet ringing in our ears. —Pl antation. The legislature. The Senate passed the House bill repealing the act organizing the District Court. The acting Gover nor’s approval is only needed to make it law. The House bill reviv ing the poll-tax' of 18G8, 1869 and 1870, and the House bill repealing the Akerman election law were passed. The Senate bill passed, restricting the rewards offered for criminals to SSOO in capital felonies, and $250 in other felonies, was a good one. It rectifies one tremendous abuse of Bullock’s rule. The right of Ordinaries to grant writs of habeas corpus when refused by a Supe;ior Court Judge was withdrawn. To withhold State’s property was maoe penal. Wives were allowed to recover penalties from dealers w'ho sell liquor to their drunken husbands. The last three was Senate bills that go to the House. The House decided L. C. Jones, the member from Macon, not entitled to his seat. This was right. He has been a citizen of Atlanta for two years. The Radical practice of car pet-bag representatives should cease. The Senate bill repealing the 20th section of Appropriation act, under which Bullock squandered hundreds of thousands of the State’s money, was passed. Let us see if Conley will sanction. It stops the bung. It will test his sincerity for retrench rnent. The public printing bill passed The resolution to appoint four joint committees, one each for Bullock,the State road, the State road lease, and the action of the State road Aucmiug Committee, was passed. Tli s is ready for Conley. A resoluii a of Mr. McMillan, looking to the arrest of plunderers of the State was passed. The most important matter done was the passage of Mr. Baejn’s resolution in regard to the illegal bonds of the State. While the State will pay every honest and legal ob ligation, she cannot and will not jay securities issued in glaring disregird of law, and binding on every bofiy. One step more is needed in tlis matter, and that is to issue in entirely new set of State bonds oil. This will at once correct this whole bond complication and utterly pre vent future trouble. We shall am plify this idea in a future issue.

SIC.LIAN EWgf|l|y§| BATH RENEWER Every year increases the populari ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring Gray or Faded Hair to its youthful color, niaking it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and and, by its tonic prop erties, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In baldness, it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create anew growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical Hair Dressing ever used, as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., State Assay er of Massachusetts, says, “The constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality ; and I consider it the Best Prepa ration for its intended purposes.” Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
